Marathon Server Slam (Feb 26 - Mar 2) 𝙄𝙩'𝙨 π™Žπ™€ π™Šπ™«π™šπ™§ / π™’π™š'π™§π™š π™Žπ™€ π˜½π™–π™˜π™ 

Honestly I don't agree. I think things are going to change as people get steadily further. The economy needs to get established, like right now there's a 30k credits cap. I will not get there anytime soon and I will not need the abilities in the skill tree to increase it until way later. I feel that it'll be similar with ammo.
Potentially. I guess if the game was live today, I'd say it could use some adjusting. But to your point, once we get the full game and everything actually synergizes better, it may not be a problem.

Playing in a trio right now, especially if you're all running weapons that take the same ammo and you're fighting as much as you can, it can be tricky.

in-game, I think he's right. getting cornered by one reinforcement of flankers can really drain your ammo and it's pretty hard to find during a run especially splitting w/ team

my vault is fucking full of it though lol
 
Also, this is going to be super controversial. I may get ridiculed for this. People might think I'm crazy, but here goes.....

Rook should be available in trios

I said what I said
 
Running on empty... Shit gargabe review... Commencing third engagement with marathon
OK. I have played 20+ hours. This consolidates my overall issues with the game: It lacks strategy and balancing depth.
This feels like an early iteration, not something ready to launch. But of course; it's not unfinished, it's just too advanced for the "haters" πŸ€£πŸ˜‚

Plus more pve elements, more stuff gets carried over when you die, and better solo options? Fuck yeah, that DOES sound good, kind sir!!!

You played a game in a genre you have no interest in for 7 hours a day for 3 days straight?


Fair play to you, I think its great and have not come close to your dedication.

When a game is fun and good yeah I grind the shit out of free demo weekends even when it gets wiped
If RE9 didn't release the same weekend then maybe yeah I'd go for the level 30 rewards but ain't no way I'm giving up Leon time for marathon server slam. I'll get 100+ hours easy starting next week.

Genres are meaningless. At a high level, games in different genres can share game loops.

XCOM is kind of an "extraction" game, and I think it's a masterpiece. LET IT DIE also resembles an "extraction" game, and it's one of my favorites.

The thing with Marathon is that a bunch of pussies turned me into their villain over it. So, I gave it a fair chance.

And in fact, I was engaged with it. It's not like I was hating every minute I spent with it. (I even enjoy it. Like when you drink a glass of plain water after running a... Marathon). It's just that there's nothing special about it at allπŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Looking for twitter post for 20+ hours trying to affirm your disdain for the game doesn't equal playtime.

I'd be playing it more, as you said, if RE didn't release the same weekend. I play on console so perhaps my #'s don't count either way.

Regardless, the initial reaction to Destiny was similar but I don't get why people want this game to fail so badly.

Fair enough. I was done. I just played one time tonight because of some changes they made. Might play again tomorrow if my cousin gets on after work otherwise I'm done until Thursday. Don't like my progress being wiped so quickly.
 
Again, I gave my actual opinions on the game. You are free to engage with them, but you choose not to do so. And that is the issue.
Let's be real - you tried the game a substantial amount and don't like it. Your reasoning could be profound or shallow, it doesn't matter because it's how opinions work. You've made an opinion backed by an actual hands on experience. So feel free to poo poo all you want.

I personally don't even want to get into a debate on your reasoning because there isn't a reason to. I don't want to change your mind or "disprove you" because it's a waste of time for both sides.

Good on you for trying it.

I can't wait for full release. Super pumped to finally dive in deep and see how this stacks up to Arc after 50-75 hours when I fell off Arc hard.

If all else fails I've got deadlock. 110 hours and still not bored at all.
 
Anyone else having issues with the controls on PS5?

Any recommended settings?
I'm using a Hall Effect modded custom controller with 4 back Buttons, so maybe these settings are a little too sensitive for a standard controller.

Sens: 9
ADS: 0.5
Linear
Deadzones: 0.02

If you get drift just turn up deadzones until the cursor stops moving without input
 
Almost lvl 25. Last day to get to lvl 30.
My team and I are having a blast. We're are all former ARC players and have been tired of the kumbaya hippie mentality - where players are playing music for each other, sharing their loot and holding hands, while shouting "rats" at anyone engaging in PvP.

Cheers bro! Will try them on my dualsense edge.

Just a question. Is it worth upgrading my dualsense with hall effect sticks?
